映画批評から英語を知るのもあり。楽しまなければ英語は身に付かない。 I am not a native speaker of English. In order to improve my English ability,I would like to continue learing English every day. I am sure that the best way not to give up learning English is to enjoy it. I like movies, so learning English through movie-related documents is a suitable option for me. Reading and understanding a lot of the movie documents written by a native is a good way,I think. I would like to be able to write my reviews on movies fluently.

ヒッチコック(Hitchcock)はやはり天才か?映画裏窓(rear window)ではグレースケリーの美が炸裂
The below is some translation of the trailer :
I can smell trouble right here in this apartment.
First you smash your leg,
Then you get to looking out the window,
See things you shouldn't see.
Trouble.
something big going on somewhere?
It's a big night.
It's just an old run-of-the-mill(ありふれた、いつもと変わらない) Wednesday.
It's opening night of the last depressing week of L B Jefferies in a cast(ギブス).
I just can't figure it.
He went out several times last night in the rain,
- Carrying his sample case. - Well, he's a salesman, isn't he?
It's not an ordinary look.
It's the kind of look a man gives when he's afraid somebody
might be watching him
There's nothing to see.
There is . I've seen things through that window.
I've seen bickering口論)and family quarrels
And mysterious trips at night
And knives and saws and rope.
That's a secret, private world you're looking into out there
People do a lot of things in private they couldn't possibly explain in public.
Let's start from the beginning again, Jeff.
Tell me everything you saw
there's pretty private stuff going on there.
Brief plot:
After breaking his leg during a dangerous assignment, professional photographer L. B. "Jeff" Jeffries
is confined in his Greenwich Village apartment, using a wheelchair while he recuperates. His rear
window looks out onto a small courtyard and several other apartments. During a summer heat wave,
he passes the time by watching his neighbors, who keep their windows open to stay cool. The tenants
he can see include a dancer, a lonely woman he nicknames "Miss Lonelyheart", a songwriter, several
married couples, and Lars Thorwald, a salesman with a bedridden wife.
After Thorwald makes repeated late-night trips carrying a large case, Jeff notices that Thorwald's
wife is gone and sees Thorwald cleaning a large knife and handsaw. Later, Thorwald ties a large
packing crate with heavy rope and has moving men haul it away. Jeff discusses these observations
with his wealthy girlfriend Lisa and his home-care nurse Stella , then explains to his friend Tom
Doyle , a local police detective, that they believe Thorwald murdered his wife. Doyle looks into the
situation but finds nothing suspicious.Soon after, a neighbor's dog is found dead with its neck broken.
When a woman sees the dog and screams, the neighbors all rush to their windows to see what has
happened, except for Thorwald, whose cigar can be seen glowing as he sits in his dark apartment.
Convinced that Thorwald is guilty after all, Jeff has Lisa slip an accusatory(告訴、非難) note under Thorwald's
door so Jeff can watch his reaction when he reads it. Then, as a pretext(口実)to get Thorwald away from
his apartment, Jeff telephones him and arranges a meeting at a bar. He thinks Thorwald may have
buried something in the courtyard flower patch and then killed the dog to keep it from digging it up.
When Thorwald leaves, Lisa and Stella dig up the flowers but find nothing.
Grace Kelly is one of the most admired women in the world. Even today, she is upheld as a standard of beauty, grace, and style. Her talent and persona influenced the great motion picture director Alfred Hitchcock so strongly that he attempted to make other actresses into her image, without success.
